This month with Notice What You Notice we talked about research and how to go about it. I tend not to research in the strictest sense for new work.
I have done researched projects in the past particularly for my City & Guilds Creative Embroidery Certificates and for the Master Practitioner course I did.
Since then I've tended to veer away from this type of research. I've immersed myself in the photos I've taken related to a theme and then tried to reproduce the feeling rather than the photo. For example this sketchbook is based on a local canal.
Kate Green, who I know through the Artist Mentoring programme we're both in, recently posted a video about her MA research project: Hidden Potential. The work looks amazing and I'm so impressed with all the research she has put together.
If you're a Creative, what research do you do? Do you have a style of working before you start on a piece of work?
Thanks for joining me today
